Answer 1

A UAP collaborating with a nurse can report changes in patient skin condition, perform limited dressing changes, and assess the effectiveness of a wound care program.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a UAP collaborates with a nurse, there are several actions they can take:

1. Reporting any changes in patient skin condition or integrity to the nurse.
2. Performing limited dressing changes, depending on the setting and treatment.
3. Assessing the effectiveness of a wound care program.

Administering pain medications and selecting products based on insurance coverage are not typically within the scope of practice for a UAP collaborating with a nurse.
